Pretty darn good sangria, and very tasty pizza. My only complaint is that its really, really noisy. So noisy that it was uncomfortable. Definitely not where you want to take a first date if you want to have a conversation. Trust me. Bruschettas are all quite tasty. Go with the "pick 3" and explore. I really liked the dried tomatoes/mozzarella as well as the blue cheese/grapes. The other was unmemorable. The "Rustica" pizza was fantastic. Thin crust, prosciutto, dried tomatoes, basil pesto and provolone. It all worked very well. One pizza affords about 6 generous slices, so its just enough to share with a friend. Service was snappy and pleasant. Various people brought various items throughout the meal - the server only dropped by a couple of times in the beginning and once at the end.

This restaurant Is in our neighborhood and always busy. We tried Frasca when it first opened up and did not like . We decided to give it another try this week. We ordered the calamari which was over cooked and greasy. I was so looking forward to the broccoli/cauliflower salad. It was over cooked, over seasoned and basically inedible. I have noticed people in other reviews raving about this- so I am wondering if it was the usual chefs night off- because this was awful. The prosciutto/arugula pizza was ok- could have been in the oven 1 or 2 more minutes because the crust was too soft. The service and wine were both great. In contrast we went to Fork in Lincoln Square last night and it was amazing- I was hoping for something like that from Frasca. We will never go back.

Really great vibe. If it didnt have decent pizza, decor and a bumping atmosphere, Id probably give them three stars. The pasta isnt amazing, but its good. I will say if youre looking for a treat, Id suggest getting their cheese plate--phew, its "off the hook." When I go to Frasca it is because of their daily deals. I highly recommend that you go on a Wednesday evening, they have a buy one get one free deal for pizza. Their pizza is actually really good, the Soprano is my favorite because it offers a nice spicy meat juxtaposed to a sweet sauce. Take a friend, and drink some wine; youll have fun. Its not super expensive, so it makes you feel like youre getting a good value.

I used to love this place because its authentic Italian style pizza. However, my mind was entirely changed after I tried to make a reservation here for a special event for a party of 12. Over the phone they informed me they only take reservations of up to 6 people between the hours of 6-930pm. When I inquired if I could book 2 tables of six (yep Im a college graduate :) ) they told me that they couldnt guarantee those 2 tables would be next to each other. I know they have the room for at least a table of 12, but they still were unable to accommodate this. Disappointing to say the least. We ended up going to Spacca Napoli a little further north and LOVED the service there.

This is the perfect restraunt. It is family friendly with a great kids menu and it was stuff for adults to with amazing food, and a wide range of wine. I live very close to the restraunt an go there often. The menu is very vast, and i never get bored of the food there. The restraunt it self is very eye catching with some really cool architechture on the inside. And if the weather is up to your par, you can even sit outside.

Ordered a fried egg sandwich with potatoes and coffee. Coffee was hot, hashed browns were warm (but otherwise a delightful departure from the standard with a Russia flair), but sadly and most importantly the egg sandwich itself may have well been an egg salad sandwich as it was not warm or hot in the slightest. Quite disappointed as it was my first time here. I may try again but first impressions are usually telling.

thought the pizza i had was great, like the think crust and how it just comes out nice and warm. i also had a skillet cookie and it was good, not a big fan of sweets so I would not recommend it. the calamari i had is one of the best i have had in a long time so i would recommend to get that as an appetizer. I was not a big fan of the sercive because i did not get my cup of water refilled.

Their brunch is amazing; what I would imagine Europeans would have for brunch if brunch were a thing across the pond. If you like fresh mimosas, rustic Italian, and prosciutto, this place is for you. The prosciutto pizza, breakfast pizza, eggs florentine, and nutella dessert are personal faves. Make sure to make a resy for wknd brunch though! It gets crowded:)

Frasca is a great place to go for excellent food (and great wine) in a laidback atmosphere. I always have an exceptional experience there and I love bringing out-of-town guests. Their pizzas and handmade pastas are good and their brunch is one of the best around. Can get very busy on Fridays and Saturdays so calling ahead is usually the way to go.

Had the crispy polenta fries and the carbonara pizza. We ordered a bottle of malbec but they were out of that type - changing vendors. The server offered another bottle that was more expensive but because the menu was not changed she charged us the lower price. The food was solid, the atmosphere was chill. One of my favorite places in the area.

Good service, great food. Other than the server giving us nuts after making sure nuts were not in anything we ordered, and hopefully innocently switching a more expensive bottle of wine than the one ordered we had a great experience. Cheese and meat board was very good, minus the nuts, and our pizzas were hot and delicious. Well be back again.

We have children and the most important thing is space. Space for your kids to run around, and Frasca has that! Oh, and dont forget the pizza, wine, cheese, etc. Come to Frasca if you want to disappear into your own world of happiness, sipping a Pinot Noir whilst crunching on some Rustica pizza; all while your child is reeking havoc.

Great family friendly restaurant that offers a nice menu for both little ones and adults. Great pizza, salads and wine list for lunch; and strong menu for weekend brunch. Recently visited for Mothers Day lunch. Offered rose and complimentary mimosa to moms, good service and tasty food. Will definitely be returning for another visit.

Pizza is always great and wine list is FAB. But the winner here is the butchers board! You can select different kinds of toasts with DELISH topics. (Ricotta/pistachio/honey is INSANE - get it.) You can also do a cheese/meat board. Staff is super friendly and ambience is LOVELY. Outdoor seating in the sunshine!

When I was a child I loved to eat soup and salt. Oh wait that is a dirty lie and so is my title. Our appetizer tasted like soup and it was not soup. Our pizza tasted like salt and I think it was salt. So if you like pizza and appetizers from do as Bob Barker says and "come on down" P.S. This place was not good!

They have the best food in roscoe village but the worst service. The bartenders can be quite rude at times but the food definitely makes up for it. Mosty trendy place to eat outside in Roscoe Village. I would recommend the pizza, their famous chicken salad, and the cheese foundu.
